Chapter 673: 582 Yang Xin (finished for today)_1

After a bout of intense dizziness, Chu Buyu regained her composure, and she found herself lying in a narrow gorge, not far from a green storage bracelet, a constantly revolving red wheel, and the Golden Glass Needle.

With a single-handed gesture, the storage bracelet, red wheel, and Golden Glass Needle flew towards her, landing in her hand, while the wheel and needle slipped into her sleeve.

She flicked her wrist with the storage bracelet, and after a streak of green light passed by, a large pile of items appeared on the ground, but the Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure was not among them.

A green jade box sealed with a silver talisman caught her attention. She peeled off the talisman and opened the box to find six porcelain bottles inside.

She removed the corks to inspect the contents and discovered that they contained fifth-grade elixirs, which she guessed must have been obtained by Heterodox Cultivators from the abode of Ancient Cultivators.

Six bottles of fifth-grade elixirs, four for advancing essence spirituality, one for detoxification, and one for healing.

She picked up a green jade slip, immersing her Divine Sense into it.

Less than half an hour later, she had finished reviewing the contents of all the jade slips.

"Four Seas Sect, Qinglian Archipelago, Thousand Poison Cave," Chu Buyu muttered to herself, her face full of curiosity.

Many jade slips mentioned these three places. She found a square blue token with "Four Seas Sect" engraved on the front and "Yang Xin" on the reverse.

"It seems this person hails from Four Seas Sect. Now we just need to find out where Qinglian Archipelago and Thousand Poison Cave are," Chu Buyu said.

She found a blue beast hide. It was a map with "Thousand Poison Cave" written on it in large letters.

The characters were all written in the script of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. Chu Buyu and Shen Long had destroyed the ancestral lands of several tribes of the Tianyuan Tribe and obtained numerous manuscripts, including those that described the script of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

Chu Buyu was certain that this person came from the Four Seas Sect of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, but she was unclear about how this person had descended to The Lower Realm.

She neatly sorted and stored the items on the ground then left the place in search of a way out.

Seven days later, Chu Buyu stood atop a steep peak, frowning deeply.

She was now inside an unknown, closed space, not very large, with sparse spiritual energy, and devoid of other Human Cultivators.

There were two paths before Chu Buyu, the first was to find a way out of this space, but leaving this area carried great risks. She didn’t know the surroundings of this space; if she forcefully opened an exit and there was a powerful prohibition nearby, what then?

The second path was to remain here and cultivate until she reached the Divinity Transformation Middle Stage, to see if she could ascend from here to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, which seemed to be a relatively safe method.

After much deliberation, Chu Buyu chose to stay and cultivate. With four bottles of fifth-grade Essence Advancing Spiritual Power elixirs, she could save herself a great deal of time from arduous cultivation.

Having made up her mind, Chu Buyu found a cave and began her secluded cultivation.

...

In the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, at the Green Butterfly Marketplace.

Inside the Golden Bee Pavilion, Shen Long was speaking with Shen Hai when a loud sound akin to a tsunami erupting from him, he took out a red shell that never ceased to gleam, and after inserting a spell into it, Qin Yang’s voice came through, "Taoist Friend Qian, are you available? I need to discuss something with you."

"I am, where are you?" Shen Long asked.

"I’m right at the entrance of the Golden Bee Pavilion," Qin Yang replied.

Shen Hai rose to his feet and walked to the door, opening it and inviting Qin Yang, who was standing outside, in.

"Taoist Friend Qian, could you help me concoct a batch of fifth-grade elixirs? I’ll pay you with a Wood Demon’s fifth-grade Crystal Core and three Thunder Attribute fifth-grade Demon Cores," Qin Yang earnestly said, producing a green jade slip and handing it to Shen Long.

"Purple Profound Jade Clear Pill! A cure for chill poison! This elixir is indeed rare. Taoist Friend Qin, is it a member of your team who’s been injured?" Shen Long’s Divine Sense swept over it, his face reflecting a ponderous expression.

"No, it’s for a good friend of mine. She and a companion went in search of a person at the border of the Human and Heterodox territories for a reward from the Four Seas Sect, clashed with a Divinity Transformation Stage Heterodox Cultivator, two died, and she was injured and fled. She passed out upon returning to the Green Butterfly Marketplace, and only this pill can cure such chill poison, which is quite rare and not available in the marketplace," Qin Yang slowly explained.

"A reward from the Four Seas Sect?" Shen Long blinked in surprise.

"The Four Seas Sect published a bounty years ago for the capture of a Soul Transformation Cultivator named Yang Xin, accused of colluding with Heterodox Cultivators to harm his fellow sect members. Before his actions were discovered, he escaped. The bounty was substantial, and it remains unclaimed. There are rumors that he fled to the Heterodox territories, and others say he was killed by Heterodox Cultivators," Qin Yang clarified.

Realization dawned on Shen Long as he said, "This pill requires Purple Profound Jade Cleansing Grass, aged for three thousand years, as its main ingredient. This herb grows in miasmic swamps and is difficult to cultivate artificially. I don’t have any on me."

"Taoist Friend Qian, please help me out. Here’s the deal! If you assist in the creation of this pill, I will do one thing for you, no, two things, as long as it’s within my abilities,"

Qin Yang promised.

"Taoist Friend Qin, is this friend of yours really that important to you?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Had she not lent me a hand back then, I would have been dead by now. A drop of water given in need shall be repaid with a burst of spring,"

Qin Yang explained.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Alright! I’ll give it a try. You go back first, and as soon as there’s any news, I will immediately notify you."

"I’m in your debt, Taoist Friend Qian."

Qin Yang bowed deeply in gratitude and turned to leave.

Shen Long took out the Messaging Conch, sent a spell into it, and Lin Yunyu’s voice arose: "Taoist Friend Qian, what’s the matter?"

"Madam Lin, I would like to buy three stalks of three-thousand-year-old Purple Profound Jade Cleansing Grass from you,"

Shen Long said straightforwardly.

"I’m not short of Spirit Stones, bring something to exchange!"

Lin Yunyu said.

"How about one Enlightening Fruit?"

Shen Long offered.

Purple Profound Jade Cleansing Grass is quite a rare type of Spirit Grass, but when it comes to scarcity, it doesn’t compare to the Enlightening Fruit.

"No problem, come to Baihua Garden, and we can trade face to face,"

Lin Yunyu said.

"Good, I’m on my way now."

Shen Long agreed, put away the Messaging Conch, and left the Golden Bee Pavilion.

He arrived at Baihua Garden and saw Lin Yunyu without difficulty.

"Taoist Friend Qian, Taoist Friend Qin came looking for you, didn’t he?"

Lin Yunyu said.

Qin Yang had sought out Lin Yunyu first, but Lin Yunyu was unable to help. The Jade Purity Pill was rather obscure, and the Lin Family didn’t have much stock, most of which was reserved for their own use and not easily sold.

What Qin Yang had offered was not enough to sway Lin Yunyu, so he then turned to Shen Long.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Where are the things I asked for?"

He took out a finely crafted green jade box and handed it to Lin Yunyu.

Lin Yunyu opened the box and saw an Enlightening Fruit inside.

She handed over three exquisitely made green jade boxes to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the boxes, each containing a small purple-cyan grass. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Madam Lin. I will go back to do the alchemy now,"

Shen Long expressed his gratitude, picked up the three stalks of Purple Profound Jade Cleansing Grass, and stood up to leave.

No sooner had he left than a tall, green-robed elder emerged from a courtyard.

"He actually agreed to trade an Enlightening Fruit for three stalks of Purple Profound Jade Cleansing Grass, which suggests he still has Enlightening Fruits on hand. It’s hard for a Loose Cultivator to get even one of those fruits, and they typically wouldn’t go out of their way to save someone unrelated. The fact that he’s doing so for Qin Yang in exchange for Purple Profound Jade Cleansing Grass means he likely comes from a powerful background,"

the green-robed elder said slowly.

Lin Yunsen, at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation.

"Regardless, maintaining a good relationship with him can’t be wrong. When you think about it, Madam Xu and the others are too greedy. So many years have passed; Yang Xin is most certainly dead, probably killed by Heterodox Cultivators, neglecting old ties after crossing the bridge is their true nature,"

Lin Yunyu spoke.

"I guess she must have found some relevant clues! It’s not surprising, the reward offered by the Four Seas Sect is very generous, and I am also tempted,"

Lin Yunsen remarked.
